That $119 swimsuit? With tariffs it will cost you $360.
Amazon this week denied a report that it would display tariff charges on imported goods for sale on its platform after the White House denounced the move as a "hostile and political act." But other retailers are breaking out the import duties on customer receipts — sometimes causing shock among shoppers.
Amid sweeping tariffs newly imposed by President Trump, including 145% levies on goods made in China, businesses are raising prices on a wide range of products, rather than absorbing the added costs from the steep taxes on imported items. Some are opting to tell consumers exactly why prices are rising by adding tariff surcharges to customers' bills. Others are simply raising prices across the board.
Political news site Punchbowl on Tuesday reported that Amazon planned to list added costs derived from tariffs next to certain products sold on its site. The e-commerce giant pushed back on the report's claim, telling CBS News on Tuesday that its Amazon Haul store only "considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products."
"This was never approved and is not going to happen," Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle said in statement Tuesday.
Other retailers both big and small are taking the opposite tack and showing customers exactly how much tariffs are adding to product costs.
"This is transparency"
David Warrick, executive vice president of Overhaul, a supply-chain management company, said most businesses can't absorb tariffs of as high as 145% on goods from China and are passing price hikes onto consumers.
"This is transparency," he said of some retailers' decision to display tariff charges on customer receipts.
"Consumers should understand that this is what you're paying for, and what the cost of trade policy is and how it's uplifting prices," he told CBS MoneyWatch. "It's useful, and a good demonstration of how tariffs are impacting daily spending."
China-based e-commerce giants Shein and Temu both began listing new prices on their sites this week that reflect the cost of tariffs. Temu is also adding "local" labels to goods shipped from U.S.-based warehouses, indicating they are not subject to import duties on imports from China.
"No import charges for all local warehouse items and no extra charges upon delivery," the Temu website says of the wide range of goods that are already in the U.S.
Still, that isn't stopping some Temu shoppers from griping about the heavy new import costs on goods purchased from China, which can be greater than the value of goods themselves. In one Reddit post dedicated to Temu and tariffs, shoppers shared screenshots of the import duties, which were added to their total bills.
According to another shopper, the purchased goods totaled $138.97, while the "import charges" amounted to $117.64. A third customer posted a receipt showing import charges of $60.57 on goods worth $47.52.
Triangl, an online swimwear company, announced that as of April 30, orders from U.S.-based customers will include tariff charges at checkout. On Thursday, a one-piece woman's swimsuit sold on the site with a retail cost of $119 was subject to tax of $12.35, while shipping costs ran $20. Import duties on the item amounted to $211.11, raising the final price to $362.46.
Ryan Babenzien, CEO of showerhead maker Jolie Skin Co. said in an April post on LinkedIn that the company plans to add a line in customer carts at checkout called the "Trump Liberation Tariff."
"Technically WE are not raising our prices, but the Tariff will make it more expensive for American consumers to buy a Jolie," Babenzien said in the post.
Via Seating, a Lake Tahoe, Nevada-based furniture company, is also informing customers about the hit from tariffs. In a statement on its website, the company says that, as of March, a 3% "tariff surcharge" is applied to most orders.
"Due to the latest round of trade tariff impacts, many of our suppliers are raising their prices. While Via Seating has remained unaffected until now, the most recent round of trade policy changes, with no announced end date, are directly impacting our costs," the statement reads.

Independent Non-Executive Director of Radiopharm Theranostics Picks Up 48% More Stock
Even if it's not a huge purchase, we think it was good to see that Ian Turner, the Independent Non-Executive Director of Radiopharm Theranostics Limited (ASX:RAD) recently shelled out AU$87k to buy stock, at AU$0.029 per share. That purchase might not be huge but it did increase their holding by 48%. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. The MD, CEO & Director Riccardo Canevari made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$241k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.031 each. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being AU$0.024). It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock if insiders have bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. In the last twelve months insiders purchased 22.43m shares for AU$772k. But insiders sold 1.50m shares worth AU$43k. Overall, Radiopharm Theranostics insiders were net buyers during the last year. Their average price was about AU$0.034. These transactions suggest that insiders have considered the current price attractive. You can see the insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year depicted in the chart below.

For those who like to find small cap companies at attractive valuations, this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket. Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. From our data, it seems that Radiopharm Theranostics insiders own 11% of the company, worth about AU$6.3m. Overall, this level of ownership isn't that impressive, but it's certainly better than nothing! It's certainly positive to see the recent insider purchase. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. However, we note that the company didn't make a profit over the last twelve months, which makes us cautious. We would certainly prefer see higher levels of insider ownership but analysis of the insider transactions suggests that Radiopharm Theranostics insiders are expecting a bright future. While it's good to be aware of what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision.

Stock futures inch lower to kick off start of the new trading month: Live updates
A trader works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) at the opening bell on May 30, 2025, in New York City. Angela Weiss | AFP | Getty Images Stock futures fell on Sunday as Wall Street looks to the start of a new month of trading following a strong performance in May. S&P 500 futures traded down 0.2%, while Nasdaq-100 futures dropped about 0.3%. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average also declined 70 points, or 0.2%. On Friday, the S&P 500 closed out the month of May with a more than 6% gain, its best monthly performance since November 2023. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite surged more than 9% for the month and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose about 4%. That said, Morgan Stanley's Chris Toomey is skeptical about whether May's market momentum will continue. "We're probably still range-bound," the managing director told CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Friday. "The concern we've got is that while I think we've taken [out] the worst-case scenario with regards to the 'liberation day' [tariffs], we're in a situation where I think the market's right now probably pricing in the best-case scenario." He added: "Everyone's talking about the fact that there's probably going to be 10% tariffs across the board, 30% for China. I think that's kind of baked in." President Donald Trump's tariffs have been in legal limbo following two key court rulings last week. The U.S. Court of International Trade struck down much of the president's steep levies Wednesday, ordering his administration to stop collecting them. A day later, however, a federal appeals court granted the administration's request to temporarily pause that ruling, effectively reinstating the duties. Trump's top economic advisors have remained optimistic in the tariffs even with the recent legal challenge, as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Fox News over the weekend that the tariffs are "not going away." Additionally, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told ABC News that he's "very confident that the judges will uphold this law." Hassett also suggested that Trump and China's President Xi Jinping could discuss trade as early as this week, though he said no date for the talks has been set. His comments come as trade tensions between the U.S. and China ramped up last week, with Trump writing in a Truth Social post Friday that China has "TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US." Meanwhile, investors will be eyeing a slew of reports due this week that could provide insight into how tariffs have affected the U.S. economy, including the key May nonfarm payrolls reading on Friday. Stock futures traded lower Sunday evening. S&P 500 futures were down about 0.3% shortly after 6 p.m. ET, along with Nasdaq-100 futures. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 95 points, or 0.2%. — Sean Conlon

List of ‘sanctuary jurisdictions' removed from US government website
WASHINGTON (AP) — A list of more than 500 ' sanctuary jurisdictions' no longer appears on the Department of Homeland Security's website after receiving criticism for including localities that have actively supported the Trump administration's hard-line immigration policies. The department last week published the list of the jurisdictions. It said each one would receive formal notification the government deemed them uncooperative with federal immigration enforcement and whether they're believed to be in violation of any federal criminal statutes. The list was published Thursday on the department's website but on Sunday there was a 'Page Not Found' error message in its place. The list was part of the Trump administration's efforts to target communities, states and jurisdictions that it says aren't doing enough to help its immigration enforcement agenda and the promises the president made to deport more than 11 million people living in the U.S. without legal authorization. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Fox News' 'Sunday Morning Futures' that there had been anger from some officials about the list. However, she didn't address why it was removed. 'Some of the cities have pushed back,' Noem said. 'They think because they don't have one law or another on the books that they don't qualify, but they do qualify. They are giving sanctuary to criminals.' The list, which was riddled with misspellings, received pushback from officials in communities spanning from urban to rural and blue to red who said the list doesn't appear to make sense. In California, the city of Huntington Beach made the list even though it had filed a lawsuit challenging the state's immigration sanctuary law and passed a resolution this year declaring the community a 'non-sanctuary city.' Jim Davel, administrator for Shawano County, Wisconsin, said the inclusion of his community must have been a clerical error. Davel voted for Trump as did 67% of Shawano County. Davel thinks the administration may have confused the county's vote in 2021 to become a 'Second Amendment Sanctuary County' that prohibits gun control measures with it being a safe haven for immigrants. He said the county has approved no immigration sanctuary policies. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.
